Jars of Buttons by Daogreer Earth Works

         10 Simple Pleasures
   1) small bits of things, waiting to become a crafty treasure
   2) sorting lots of little somethings by color
   3) glass jars with metal screw on lids, and the sound of the rotation
   4) a room lit only with daylight coming through the window
   5) the smell of unstained, unfinished wood
   6) the wholesome color and texture of undyed linen
   7) the sound of tiny buttons tinkling against each other
   8) a single, leftover thread from a button's former life
   9) dozens of distinct shades of white
   10) all the purposeful details of my mother's craft room

my dgt loves crafts and creating something from little do dads.....I like your idea of the jars holding the buttons etc. Got to share that with her.

These are wonderful simple pleasures and the moment I started to read my thoughts went to my own mother's craft room. The jars are great!

I envy those jars full of buttons! What a treasure!

I have a *single* jar of buttons that I seem to raid more often than I make deposits, but I love it just the same.

Your list is *simply* perfect! Love it!

Great simple pleasures!
Though dozens of shades of white proved a little confusing when choosing paint recently lol!
I like your photo :-)

I loved your photo. Those buttons would hold many secrets, and been many places. I gave my daughter some wonderful vintage buttons from her grandmother and great aunt. She has used some on a blouse.
